24 - Thomas Vermaelen

[SeloBarca]

Were like an Elephant graveyard, where all the old and injured players come to die.

 

[Butaan4barca]

what exactly is his problem ?

 

[messi2140]

This board has been making mistake after mistake and there are no signs of them stopping. The only thing we can do is wait until 2016 and hoping the right people get elected.

 

[SeloBarca]

Yea..it feels like we will have to wait until 2016 to really restructure this team and club. Until then, we will live in the past.

Abidal recovered faster after his 1st liver operation. Where's the logic in sending Abidal away for his fitness issues, and one year later, signing Vermaelen?

The patient injury recoverer

 

[abual3bed1]

He's a patient alright

 

[barcanuck]

So Suarez went to jail came out and Verms is still injured

Yet another chapter in our long, complex and nebulous transfer history with Arsenal, this guy is. Overmars, Petit, Hleb, now Verm; all came with injury problems of varying severity. You could call it a club tradition probably.

Since we are still bashing Piqué, I'll say injured Vermaelen > Piqué atm.

 

[Co0ter]

Lucho said today in his pressy that vermaelen's recover is not going as expected.
seriously, this board. We were needing top defenders. Who can play. They get vermaelen and douglas.

That made me laugh out loud.

But then I got sad.

 

[barcanuck]

It's OK Masche can play CB forver.

 

[Cule4life]

Barca patient squad starring Can they win CL with their patience? Find out in 2030......

 

[Truthist]

I don't know how reliable this is but it wouldn't surprise me. ..

This board has done SO many stupid things, enraging fans day in day out. But somehow, for me, this one sticks out as the most infuriating one. When the whole world knows it's a stupid move, you pay 15 million for someone who's as likely to regularly play for Barca as I am. I mean, WTF.

It has become quite apparent we're going to have to wait till 2016 for some improvement, if at all we will get any even then. If we were at a different stage, I would be okay with that..Every club goes through highs and lows, and waiting for a few years for things to get better is something all supporters must face. What really puts me in a black mood is that we have a prime Messi, and now we have Suarez to go with. With talent that we probably won't see for a very very very long time, we must be winning titles. After Messi retires, we will probably have a good team, and we will go a few years without some silverware. I'd find it a lot easier to digest such things then, than I do now,
